(There is no need to include this in the specification.)

As per RFC 3023, these should be stated as "Same as [charset parameter /
encoding considerations] of text/xml as specified in RFC 3023."

This should then also reference the security considerations for the type
application/xml as defined in RFC 3023.

This should just say ".xml". I note that using .xml for this type
prevents typical file extension -> media type mappings which would
be an issue for instance if you expect that people will just throw
files of this type on their web server.

This is usually rendered as "Steven Less <steven.lees at microsoft.com>".
